Our guest Anna Herby, DHSc RD CDE, Nutrition Education Specialist at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), details the bias and lack of scientific basis for the new Guidelines which ignore decades of proven science on what constitutes healthy nutrition.  PCRM, a health advocacy group with 17,000 physician members, has filed a complaint with HHS and USDA urging them to withdraw the guidelines. The organization cites concerns of conflicts of interest, noting that members of the panel have ties to the beef and dairy industry.
